And we did it! Perfect activity. I’m sure the kids felt like they were cooking then making! Great activity for outdoors though. My feet have squelched through quite a bit of salt! http://blog.familyvalue.com.au/?p=181

We did a similar activity this week only we used macaroni and food dye.

I pulled a couple of pages out of a colouring in book Zoe spread it with pva glue and stuck the macaroni on a couple at a time. This activity is great as it takes a lot longer than just colouring in. Fun too.

Next week I think the craft cups will be filled with colourful salt.

Oh what fun!
This also works with sand if you don’t want to use food for art/play – you can colour it with food colour or crushed chalk.
